Problems with erectile function in older age are common. In old age, in men, the production of a hormone such as testosterone is reduced by half, and in some its content reaches less than 30% of the total norm. Restoring potency after age 60 is a very difficult process. We have to resort to various methods of treatment. However, despite the complexity of the therapy, it is possible to make male strength even at 70 years old, for this it is necessary to strictly follow the rules of therapy prescribed by the doctor.
Features of how the reproductive system works in men aged 60
At 60, sexual neglect should not be taken for granted. In old age, the interpersonal relationships of couples change considerably. The attraction becomes stronger, because there is time for attention to the couple.
At 60, your sex life becomes calmer and should be regular. However, for sexual desire it was necessary to watch your body.
At the age of 60, he significantly reduces the level of production by the testes of the male sex hormone - testosterone. Testosterone plays an important role in the human body. Especially its lack begins to bother at the age of 40, when the body can no longer be as active as before.
Despite the low potential for sexual activity due to testosterone levels, sexual desire for the opposite sex remains at the same level.
It should be noted that with the transition to more advanced age groups, the end of erectile function is a natural process. After turning 65, each year could be the last sexually. But, the period of male power exhaustion can be postponed indefinitely.
At the first symptoms, it is recommended to change your lifestyle: change your environment, spend more time in the great outdoors.
The reasons for the weakening of the power
Factors that contribute to the premature loss of male strength are as follows:
- Dependence on tobacco products. Tobacco has a very strong effect on the human vascular system. This is especially true for the lower extremities, where blood flow must circulate in large volumes. Tobacco products constrict blood vessels, prevent good permeability through the vessels. In addition, smoking is one of the factors in the development of atherosclerotic disease, which in turn further impairs the vascular system, creating the prerequisites for the formation of blood clots.
- Frequent consumption of alcoholic beverages.Men who drink alcohol are more likely to experience impotence than those who avoid heavy drinking. This is especially true for beer lovers. When you drink an intoxicated drink, the amount of female hormone in the human body increases dramatically. The imbalance between female and male hormones changes not only the appearance, but also the internal processes of the body. Among the internal processes - a lack of testosterone in the testes, which leads to impaired sexual activity.
- Drug use. All types of drugs, light and strong, fall into this category. Narcotic drugs affect the whole body, including the immune and vascular systems. They undermine their ability and prevent a good recovery. As a result, the structure of the systems changes and the body is not able to function properly.
- Pathology of the urinary system.The problem with potency is not just the presence or imbalance of hormones. Sometimes bladder disease contributes to the development of potency. Any inflammatory process in the body is considered to be the cause not only of problems with male strength.
- Low body activity. Frequent sitting or inactivity results in decreased blood flow in the body. Since the vascular system is considered the founder of everything, including potency, its minor changes lead to problems.
- Psychology. Separately, among the factors, it is worth noting the psychological problems leading to potency. Constant stress or excessive pressure on the central nervous system affects the whole body. This can occur both after a physical problem, such as genital trauma, or after psychological trauma. Psychological trauma is particularly difficult to deal with. Such an injury can occur, for example, with accidental sexual desire or as a result of an unconscious change in hormones.
- Fatigue. Particular attention should be paid to the tone of the body. Constant physical and psychological stress can exhaust the body. Symptoms of chronic fatigue or drowsiness appear.
- Complications in diseases of the vascular system. As already mentioned, problems with the vascular system disrupt the functions of all organs, including the urinary system. Particular attention should be paid to complications after illness. For example, after vegetative-vascular dystonia or genital disorders.
- Constant imbalance of nutrients in the body.At an older age, it is especially important to maintain adequate nutrition. At 60, the body cannot fight off fat and harmful bacteria that enter through the mouth. Therefore, it is necessary to control the diet. It is necessary to eat more foods containing vitamin and mineral complexes and try to eat less foods containing trans fats and hormones.
Note!Marijuana is particularly strong in the development of impotence. Its composition has a negative effect on the production of a number of important hormones necessary for sexual activity.
Ways to increase
Before choosing a treatment for erectile dysfunction in adulthood, you should definitely consult your doctor.
Good nutrition
A normal diet at age 60 is a guarantee of health. It is noted that correctly selected nutrition prolongs erectile function up to 80 years.
The following foods should be included in the diet:
- Increases the amount of fiber;
- Reduce the amount of salt in the body;
- Eat more seafood by stabilizing the nervous system;
- Limit the consumption of foods containing cholesterol;
- Add nutrients containing magnesium and calcium to the diet;
- Reduce the amount of alcoholic beverages, especially strong alcohol.
Sports activity
Active sports lead to an improvement in the cardiovascular system.
Among all the ways of active passage of time, we can distinguish:
- Exercises for the pelvic region.Exercise should be relaxing and not stress the groin area. The purpose of exercise is to increase blood flow to the pelvic area.
- Aerobic exercise. As in the past, exercise perfectly sheds blood through the vessels in the groin area. Along with the blood, there is a rush for other beneficial substances.
- Yoga. This type of load is useful not only physically, but also psychologically. All of the exercises help relax and stimulate the exact area that needs therapy.
Before choosing a treatment method, you should consult your doctor. In some cases, the load will negatively affect the condition of the body and the male strength in general.
Regular sex life
Consistent sex life is one way to keep the body in shape. This is especially necessary for the pelvic region, where the main organs responsible for the production of hormones are concentrated.
Drugs
Drugs are used only in cases where a chemical imbalance results from potency. For psychological problems, the use of drugs can only be used as a placebo. This is due to the fact that psychological problems are not associated with the presence of bacteria or infections in the body, it is exclusively a psychological barrier and is treated only by a sex therapist or psychotherapist.
Folk remedies
Folk remedies are most often used at the first symptoms of potency. However, it should be noted that the recipes are also used for advanced diseases.
Most often used as a base, bee products. Tinctures, decoctions and ointments are made from the products.
